Europe is isolated. The Foreign Policy magazine published an article saying that Europe believed Trump, although difficult to handle, could eventually be controlled.
It has turned out they were completely wrong.
From February this year when Vance publicly belittled Europe, to December 4th when the new "National Security Strategy" was released, the US has been very clear.
Prioritizing the development of US-Russia relations, for Europe and Russia it's a strategy to divide and rule them at the right time.
In the Ukraine-Russia issue and European security, the US attitude is very clear, and Europe is now in a situation of isolation and no support.
Especially in the Ukraine-Russia issue, every time Europeans put on a fake smile and flatter the White House (this magazine really doesn't give any face to Europeans at all).
In such an embarrassing situation, the EU still believes that the US is the biggest ally.
Still holding onto the last bit of hope.
They want to salvage the already dwindling transatlantic relationship. The Foreign Policy magazine believes that Europe seems not yet aware of its own loneliness.
